The setting is quietly comfortable, making it a fitting choice for lunch breaks or casual dinners where the focus is really on the food. Diners tend to appreciate a calm atmosphere away from busy streets, which suits both solo visitors and families alike.

The menu leans into a range of classic Thai dishes with familiar names like Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Pad Ki Mao (Drunken Noodles), alongside appetizers such as Crab Rangoon, Egg Rolls, and Thai Fresh Spring Rolls. There's also attention to some kid-friendly options like Thai-style sweet and sour chicken, which adds variety for family visits. For spice lovers, a clear scale helps customers customize their heat level, a practical detail for those exploring bold flavors.

The presence of traditional Thai iced tea and desserts like Thai Coconut Ice Cream caps off meals nicely, offering a touch of sweetness after savory dishes.

While the pricing may feel a touch on the higher side for the portion sizes—something familiar to locals who’ve visited—the overall vibe remains approachable. If you want a quiet break from the usual and a genuine taste of Thailand’s favorites without leaving Mt Pleasant, this place fits the bill.

The food here was fantastic! I ordered the yellow curry, and it was absolutely delicious—flavorful and well-balanced. The service was also great; the staff were friendly and attentive. However, I’m giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 because of the pricing. It felt overpriced, especially considering the portion sizes. One meal wasn’t enough for two people, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, great food and service, but the portions and pricing could be improved!

Really great restaurant! Wonderful selection on the menu. Also some non traditional items like Sweet sour chicken which my children had. I had a Thai tea, Green Curry with chicken and we shared some appetizers. Fair prices and good staff. Very clean restrooms. We will be going back soon to try other dishes!!

What a nice, quiet setting for lunch. I had Pad Ki Mao (Drunken Noodles) with beef, very spicy. They have a spicy scale of 1 to 5 I got a 4. It was perfect I want to try Pho next time.
